Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

In the end, Wei Hong did not perform surgery on Chen Dongsheng because she knew that if she did the surgery, Chen Dongsheng's family would think that she was amputating him to take revenge on him.

Others wouldn't worry about it; it was the price of battlefield first aid. Without a leg, Chen Dongsheng couldn't stay in the army; disability rehabilitation was his best option.

On March 16, 1979, the one-month self-defense counterattack ended. Not only did we achieve a brilliant victory, inflicting heavy damage to more than 3 Vietnamese troops with less than 7 casualties, but we also destroyed or took away 320 of the 320 communes in northern Vietnam, 735 of the 904 schools, 428 of the 430 hospitals, 41 of the 42 forest farms, 81 factories and mines, 8 hectares of crops, and 40 heads of livestock.

On the way of withdrawal, we took away all the supplies we could, including watches, bicycles, various luxury goods, etc. from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

After our withdrawal, half of the 320 million people in northern Vietnam lost their means of living and production, turning the entire northern Vietnam into a wasteland!

Zhao Cheng also ended the massacre of the Vietnamese army on March 16 and returned to the country. However, the place he came to was Malipo!

Looking at the white wreaths on the hillside, Zhao Cheng was also filled with emotion. Although the casualties of our army in this self-defense counterattack were far less than in real history, as long as there is war, there will be casualties, so Maerlipo was built into a martyrs' cemetery.

However, this time, the martyrs Liang Sanxi, Jin Kailai and Lei Kaihua were not buried as originally planned, which made it worthwhile for Zhao Cheng to send the fourth brother to the ninth company.

"Xiao Zhao! I really want to congratulate you this time! After your previous merit was reported, the chief of staff called me specifically and said that your merit application has been approved. From today on, you are a deputy army-level leader!" Lei Zhen looked at Zhao Cheng and congratulated him with a smile.

Lei Zhen in this life is much more cheerful, not only because the battle went smoothly and the casualties were small, but also because Kaihua did not sacrifice himself, so he was much happier and could even joke with Zhao Cheng.

"What? Deputy army level? I was only a deputy division level before? How come I was promoted above my level?" Zhao Cheng asked in surprise.

"The chief of staff told me that it would be enough to give you the rank of a full army, but considering your situation, I will temporarily give you the rank of deputy army, and this time I specially awarded you three first-class merits! One is for Ruan Haiping's incident, one is for you rescuing many of our soldiers in Gaoping some time ago, and the other is for you saving the Second Battalion of the 448th Regiment. If it weren't for you, the Second Battalion would probably have been wiped out! This is not a trivial matter!" Lei Zhen was also shocked when he saw the battle reports of Zhao Cheng summarized by several other armies.

As a veteran revolutionary, Lei Zhen had seen everything in his years. But Zhao Cheng, in a war lasting less than a month, could kill a total of 684 enemies, 94 of whom were officers! From the colonel-level military chief of staff to the platoon leader in the ordinary unit!

Such a feat has never been seen in our army's history, has it? Zhao Cheng didn't care about it. You have to know that in the bombardment of Vladivostok alone, he killed many more people, and even more officers! That time, he only won one special merit, although that special merit could only be recorded and not made public. This time, three first-class merits at once, made Zhao Cheng feel a little flattered!

"The Chief of Staff is really praising me too much. I feel unworthy of it!" said Zhao Cheng.

"No, you can totally bear it! Take me for example, you let Wei Min go to the Ninth Company, which not only saved Kaihua, but also saved my life and my wife's life! You also know that he is the only child in my family. If he died, my wife probably wouldn't live for a few more years!" Lei Zhen sighed.

He had seen from the battle report that of the rockets Kaihua had been carrying, only one was intact; the rest were useless! If Kaihua were to use such shells to blow up the bunker, would he even have a chance to fire a second shot?

Zhao Weimin could be said to have saved their Kaihua's life! Moreover, he had also won first-class merit this time, becoming a glorious first-class meritorious official like Zhao Mengsheng, Liang Sanxi, and Jin Kailai. Lei Zhen couldn't just let this favor go with a few words.

"Haha, Commander Lei, let's not talk about that. My achievements are not important. I don't rely on this for a living. Tell me first, has the guy from Peking come to see you?" Zhao Cheng didn't want to discuss the issue of achievements anymore. He had made so many achievements that he could talk about them for days.

He was even more curious because since Commander Lei had used Zhao Mengsheng as an example, the man from Peiping would definitely come to him like before. He just didn't know whether Lei Zhen could handle it.

"Don't mention it. My elder sister is here. She arrived yesterday and is resting in the military district guesthouse! Mengsheng has really grown up after experiencing this battle. I believe he can handle everything!" Lei Zhen said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Haha, then let me congratulate you first! I should go back to Peking in two days after taking a rest. I have been out for more than a month, and there are a lot of things in the bureau that I have to finish. I don't know how Minister Luo will blame me after I go back!" Zhao Cheng said happily.

Finally, I can go home. As for the next two-mountain rotation battle, if the children are interested, let them figure it out on their own! He will not participate, and the higher-ups will not let him participate again. A deputy army-level cadre will never have the opportunity to go to the front line again!

Meanwhile, inside the guesthouse, Zhao Mengsheng was chatting with his mother. "Mom, just take a good rest here for the next few days! I'll take some time to show you around after I'm done with my work these past two days."

"Mengsheng, you have achieved great success and shed blood. Will you be transferred back to the military region or return to Peking? After all, you still have to continue to be with Lanlan, right?" Zhao's mother said while eating a banana.

"Mom, I can't leave now. The company commander and deputy company commander are both injured, and I am the only instructor left. There is so much post-war work to do in the company, how can I leave? Let's talk about it after we are done!" Zhao Mengsheng said.

"Oh!" Mother Zhao could only sigh helplessly. She couldn't say anything now, but she was still very happy in her heart. Although her life was not easy now, her son had made a contribution after all, so it made her feel a lot more relieved!

At this time, in the 43rd Military Hospital, Wei Hong also met Chen Dongsheng who was recuperating in the hospital after a successful operation.
